KEY POINTS

  • Trump said that he prefers his "bacon medium and the eggs over-well"
  • The former president doesn't like alcohol, coffee and the crust in pizzas
  • Former top Trump aides said the four major food groups on Trump Force One were McDonald's, KFC, pizza and Diet Coke

Former President Donald Trump has never been shy about his food preferences, including his love for fast food.

In 2019, in the midst of a government shutdown after Congressional Democrats refused to fund his border wall, he ordered over 300 burgers from McDonald's and Wendy's, as well as pizzas and fries, for a White House reception.

"Because of the shutdown ... we went out and ordered American fast food paid for by me," Trump told reporters at the time.

The former president doesn't like alcohol, coffee and the crust on pizzas, but his favorites include Diet Coke and cherry-vanilla ice cream.

Here's a list of some of Trump's favorite foods.

Bacon and Eggs

In numerous interviews and speeches, Trump revealed that he often skips breakfast. But on the days that he wakes up early, he said he loves to eat bacon and eggs.

Trump said in a 2015 interview with People that he prefers his "bacon medium and the eggs over-well."

During the 2016 presidential elections, Trump tweeted a photo of himself at Trump Tower in New York City eating a Trump Grill taco bowl.

"Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!" Trump wrote in the caption.

Trump allegedly did this to court Hispanic voters.

The former first lady revealed during the show that Trump likes mostly meat and fish and not "much vegetables."
